Some may be able to use this link to get your VIN data card and save Konig some time. It worked for me.

I've got another one for you, if you don't mind: W1KVK8AB4NF003203

 

Invalid.

 

Perhaps a bit premature...the car is supposed to be built next week.

 

@konigstiger - and any others who may be able to shed some light

WDDHF6HB2FB087106 - recently acquired and concerned the black ash trim (2A70) is suffering from the same fading as the burled walnut. The TSB addresses the burled walnut but I can find no reference to black ash trim suffering the same fate.

Any input would be greatly appreciated

thanks in advance

 

Faded wood was only covered under the 4 year factory warranty, not under CPO. You can tell if you open the door and look at the wood hidden by the door vs the exposed wood trim. As your car is a 2015, it would be well out of factory warranty. You can try getting the dealer to cover it with goodwill, but I doubt that will happen. The wood trim kits alone were over 3k list at the dealer, even online it was 2k. Sometimes you find used kits on eBay but the wood could still fade later.

 

10-4 thanks cetialpha5 - I presume the flawed UV coating was on all wood trims vs just burled walnut - burled walnut probably being the most prevalent - best info I have come up with is the 'clean' dates didn't begin til 2016 and later - some of the ebay offereings show manufacture dates way earlier - is there any definitive bulletin on a clean date? Appreciate your reply.

 

I don't know of any but someone else might know more. There are many stories on here about their wood getting replaced and then fading again a few years later. I suppose it's easy for MB to get away with it because their parts warranty is only 2 years.

 

Hi konigstiger - Would you mind trying that one again?

 

 

Interesting...OK, thank you for checking again nonetheless!

 

Hey I’ve just imported an e450 from the states, can you help me decode the vin?
